About Me

Moving to Drogheda Ireland mid Jan. Come stay with us if you like.

We love to host people - Cook drink laugh listen to music drink be merry.

I'm an open minded gal from the West Coast of BC, Canada. I like music, adventure, all the good stuff. I love cooking and gardening and music and animals. I have lived in small remote areas of the world most of my life, and I love nature - especially by the water. I am lucky to be from somewhere with such amazing wilderness.

In Canada I forage, collected berries, mushrooms, and seafood. In the tropical climates I love gardening. In Ireland I hope to learn more about wildcrafting and making natural textiles from nettles and local fibers. I like to create.

Austin my hubby is Irish and he's a biker, cool laid back guy, very funny. He's knows a lot about music.

Music, Movies, and Books

I tend to listen to a lot of hip-hop, trip-hop, and indie/folk. I love any music that is performed with passion with the exception of post-punk and pop country. I collect music and love to organise it and listen to new things.

Sigur Ros, Bjork, Warpaint, Eminem, Eddie Vedder, Radiohead, Leonard Cohen, and Jeff Buckley are my current listenings.

100 Years of Solitude. Amazing. Anything by John Fowles.
Isaac Asimov, Philip K Dick, hmmm....

I love movies too, especially ones with good special effects and an apocalyptic or Sci-Fi theme.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

given up most possessions and hit the road as a full time nomad :)

Teach, Learn, Share

Anything about the English language, cooking, Canadian indigenous history. I want to learn more about cooking and local plants and how to grow mushrooms and fermenting and natural dying and....

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'll gladly get food and cook all your meals! I love good food in good company. And good drinks.

I can help you practice English and share good tips for cheap travel. I really enjoy helping people travel. Also help research information on visas.

I have lots of music and movies to share on my hard drives.
